This is a link for an upcoming book that is due to release on October 30th. The book represents a year long project by Michael Franzini, where he traveled to all 50 states to find out what exactly it means to be a teenager in todays society. I’m only 25, and still couldn’t even imagine having access to a cell phone, myspace, or youtube when I was in school. I can’t imagine how their parents feel.
I browsed around the site, which offers up a few snippets of the book, and I was suprisingly intrigued by the whole thing. Michael didn’t just go out in search of one type of kid. He has captured the lives of the entire spectrum. Jocks, nerds, drug addicts… everybody. I read about a proud racist teenager who hates racial mixing that lives in a trailer, an 18 year old girl working as a prostitute, and a kid who is an internet celebrity due to his myspace. This book is going to be a must buy for me the day it comes out.
when can I get it? I went to Barnes and Noble and it isnt out yet and they said that when it comes in they only get four copies.
October 30th.. I have no idea where you can get it. Amazon i guess?
the book’s released date actually just changed to november 7. There’s going to be a limited number of books at each store. I recommend buying the book online at Amazon or Barnes & Noble
